I think this piece does a good job of abstractly showing motion without being kinetic or depicting an object in motion. It's not how I would answer my own sustained investigation inquiry ('How do we view motion?'), but it's a very interesting piece to think about. This piece is really interesting to me because of the simplicity of the shape, even though it probably wasn't very simple to assemble. I've been wanting to work with paper again for a future sustained investigation piece, and I think this is a really different take on paper mache that I haven't seen before.  I really like how the colors transitions with the motion/direction of the small paper strips.

   How do we view motion? Ideas Visually Evident (102/100): I wanted to show motion through the animation principle of squash-and-stretch, and a non-human object.

  How do we view motion? Ideas Visually Evident (74/100): Took two key poses from a jumping animation and made them into statuettes. Materials Used (14/100): Wire, hot glue. Processes Used (78/100): Poses sketched then turned into metal frames, then wrapped with wire for form. Process Photos (x/4): A page from Richard Williams's The Animator's Survival Kit Final Work (2/2):

How do we view motion? Ideas Visually Evident (64/100): A ‘normal’ walk cycle animation broken down into layers of limbs and pose. Materials Used (37/100): Matboard, paper, wood dowels, string. Processes Used (76/100): Walk cycle drawn on paper, traced on matboard, pieces cut out and assembled.
